Heat Pump Retrofit in Bulverde

Archive for the ‘News’ Category

This heat pump retrofit job in Bulverde was a very tight squeeze! We replaced an inefficient system from the 70’s with a new Rheem unit, which will perform much better and save them between 15% and 20% on their electric bill.

Here is a testimonial from an install of a new Rheem unit in the area. The upgraded unit has been able to cool their home more efficiently, for a big savings on their electric bill.

I am so pleased with the new unit, the house is much more comfortable in hot weather & with the thermostat set at higher settings. I am literally amazed at how well the unit controls the humidity factor, as setting at 78 F both wife & I feel cool and comfortable on these hot summer days.

I’ve done the math carefully & still have a hard time believing the result! We have had the unit now 5 full months, and comparing to identical periods in 2011 have saved $218.39… a 25% reduction in actual electricity costs! If anything, I expect these savings to grow as we compare the higher summer bills together…

An HVAC system is one of the most energy consuming parts of the average home. Programmable thermostats are a big help in reducing monthly energy bills, but many people don’t like them because they can be complicated to operate.

I’ve installed thousands of thermostats in my career, and have one in my house, and I agree that they can be a little frustrating. So what’s the solution?

The Nest Learning Thermostat may be for you. It learns what temperatures you like, turns itself down when you’re away and can be controlled from anywhere over Wi-Fi. If you want to change the temperature for a party or the pets while you’re out, you can do it with your smart phone.
